PRESS for album "Trio" 2024
“This beautiful version of 'You Go to My Head' by Kalya Ramu sure cast a spell on me from her first note. Truly exquisitely done!” “Beautiful instrumentation and a gorgeous vocal delivery…This ballad ['I'm in the Mood for Love'] is a sweet treat" “Her element is precise intonation, deep penetration into the dramaturgy of each number of the program, a small intimate performance that Kalya gives in each song, it seems, just for you, for a particular listener.” "This album beautifully captures the intimacy of a Jazz trio setting, allowing listeners to appreciate the rich timbres and textures of the instruments as they harmonize seamlessly." |

It is no dream that she is so good. ” “The veiled voice of Billie Holiday, the sensuality of Rita Hayworth, and the playfulness of Doris Day. ” “She swings like a kids jungle gym. " “Ramu's voice has a warmth, depth and maturity to it that belies her years.” |
